FAREWELL AND ALL-HAILi

N camphorated presses put away tho heavy
dresses;
Farewell the seal-slIin jacket with al its use
ful ilk;
Danish tac hose OF wool now, the boot with
thick, broad sole, now,
And bring me the dainty slipper and the deli
cafe hose OF silk.
Farewell to the flying cutter, that made my
pulls futter,
The Carnivai's sweet madness, the mask and
domino;
For the climbing and colliding OF the gay tobog-
gan sliding,
Bring me the hammock swinging where the
shadows come and sol
Farewell to Winters pleasure, that knew no
stint or measure
To its sparkle and its glitter, to the storms
th5t beat and blow;

holly,
To its sturdy good base-burner, and the sofa
wheeled up-soi
Tail to the health-promot:rg suits for bathing
and for boating,
And b-iny to me the skesch-book, the alpen-
stock and oar;
And though the hot sun menace, bring out the
dear lawn-tennis,
The yacht and tally-ho OF the seasons gone be-

The friils and puns and ruffies ay, all the

Mr. Brooks Letter OF Acceptance.

Mr.. Walter B. Brooks, Republican
nominee for Governor, has summit
ted his letter of acceptance, and it is
a document that will doubtless prove
to be quite acceptable to all people
who are not strongly welded to par
tisan views. In accepting the honor
which has been conferred upon him
Mr.. Brooks frankly admits that he
has no "pclitical experience" and
proposes, should he be elected Govern
or, to administer the Office upon bus
mess principles. He endorses the
plank in the Republican state plat
form in behalf of fair elections, and
also the civil service reform declara-
ton, as well as that expressing oppo.
sition to a new constitution. Per-
haps what will prove to be the most
pleasing part of the letter is that
which pledges the nominee, in case
of election, to s'administer the large
and most important interests of the
State strictly from a partisan
standpoint, not in words only, but
in official acts"
Mr.. Brooks says:
Gentleman Il beg to acknoWl-
edge the receipt Of the committees

nomination for Governor by the Re.
publican State Convention of Mary.

to express, to the convention my high
appreciation of the honor thus con-
ferred. l have read the resolutions
adopted by the convention, and re-
gard them as eminently adapted to
the issues of the day.
1.-THE questions of pressing impor-
lance in Maryland are of local, and
not national character; therefore, it
is of those only that l now design to
speak.
1.-THE purity of the ballot-box is the
first essential of pure government,
and must he enforced. Cur existing
election laws are evidently defective,
besides having been grossly pervert-
ed Dy audacious frauds praciiced by
sworn officers of the law, in so much
that the will of the people has been
again and again defeated. In so far

SPRINGFIELD, o., Sept, 20.-In an
interview this evening with Il repre-
sentative of the Associated Press.
Gen. A. S. Bushnell, member of
Governor Foraker's staff, authorized
the following statement concerning
Mrs. CleYeland's reception of Cover
nor and Mrs. Foraker at the Academy
in Philadelphia last Friday evening :
preceded by Governor Beaver, of
Pennsylvania. and his staff, Cover
nor and Mrs. Foraker and our party
advanced to be received. Governor
Beaver and party were warmly
greeted hy both the President and
Mrs. Cleveland, who SHOOK hands
with them cordially. President Cleve-
land then shook hands with COVER
nor Foraker, but his face was as ex-
pressiYe as that of a sphynX. The
Governor presented Mrs. Foraker
and the President shook hands with
her. Governor Foraker was then in
troduced to Mrs. Cleveland and ex-
tended his hand to her. She paid no
attention to his proffered hand, but
taking a half step backward and fold
ing her hands, she stared straight at
him without sign of recognition.
Apparently giving no heed to the
direct cut, the Governor presented
Mrs. Foraker. Mrs. Cleveland still
stood with folded hands, declining
Mrs. FOraker's extended hand and
acknowledging her presence only by
freezing inclination of her head.
General AX,ine and his wife were
presented to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland and both shook hands with
them, and Immediately afterWard
Mrs. Bushnell and myself were in.
troduced and were received in the
same cordial manner. The cut Of
Governor and Mrs. Foraker was
made more direct by cur reception
than it would have been had Mrs.
Cleveland not shaken hands with the
remainder of the party. 1t has been
stated that Mrs. Cleveland was not
shaking hands with any of her guests,
but that is great mistake, for she
received both those who preceded
and those who followed Governor
and Mrs. Foraker very cordially.
Regret was expressed on all sides
that the incident should have occur
ed, for everybody felt that Mrs.
Cleveland, as the first lady of the
land, could not afford to snub the
Chief Magistrate of the third State
in the Union, to say nothing of the
affront to lady of Mrs. Foraker's
beautiful character"

Republicans the Hope of the South.

The Macon (Ga.l Telegram says
that it will rejoice when men again
differ only upon political principles
and are not influenced by sensational
passions and antipathies when a
man In Georgia can become MEM
Der of any party without discredit or
injury to his social or business rela-
tiOns and interests.
The old notion that the Republican
party does not desire peace is a relic
of southern prejudice, That party
has endured the sa ,ritice of the most
vital principle of Republican govern
ment rather than be a party to con-
tnuous strife. II has seen its major
tiles driven away from the pools,
and has submitted to the domination
OF Democratic congress and eXecu-
tive in consequence. It's representa-
tiveS have met those of the solid
South in the national councils, and
harmOnized on every question look
ing to the promotion of peace and
concord and the advancement of
southern prosperity. 1t has poured
in its capital like water to build up
and develop the south, though the
very men who did this work knew
that it would be dangerous for them
selves and employees to vote or ever
"talk politics" if they disagreed with
the ruling party,
Let not the progressive south nour-
ish any worry or uneasiness aver the
lack of peaceful and cordial disp0-
sition in the Republican party. AS
soon as the people learn to respect
the laws, ana thus give the Republic
can voter fair chance, they will find
in the Republican party better,
trner and ADLER friend than their Sec
ton ever yet knew, The party is for
peace on the broad basis of re-unit-
ed country under one flag, and that
flag the Stars and Stripes.
The men of the new south will do
well to send their ablest representa-
tives to the Republican national con-
vention next year, and the party may
be able to understand exactly what
they desire and expect. Southern
delegates in past conventions have
come merely to assist in nominating
candidates whom they had no hope
of assisting in the electoral college,
and it was not quite natural that
their thoughts should linger chiefly
upon patronage. to the exclusion of
any ambition to carry the States
which they represented.
Every new factory or foundry
erected. every mine or railroad OPEN
ed, is gain for the great principle of
"a free vote and fair count" The
Republican party asks nothing more
than this of the south.

The Republicans of Maryland have

The Republicans of Maryland have
through their accredited representa-
tiyes In the State convention declar-
ed that the present is not an oppor-
tune time for calling a convention to
revise the State Constitution. Mr..
McComas in his speech at the open
ing of the convention tersely gave
the reasons for holding on to what we
have rather than to take.the risk OF
getting something worse. The gen.

The 3. & 0. and tue Sun.

1t has been standing surprise to
us that the Baltimore Sun has been,
for some time pass, both directly and
indirectly, engaged in prejudicing
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
doing it all the injury that either
bluntness or insinuation can do. This
is followed up, we regret to say, by
a considerable portion of the Demo-
cratic press of the State, and espe-
cially in that portion Of the press
devoted to the ring management.
These people do not seem to con-
slider the great stake the people and
Taxpayers of the State have in this
work. 1t is not entirely Il private
concern, but the State and the city
have large and direct interests that if
injured or destroyed will deeply affect
the taxpayers of both. There are
twenty-three directors in the boOrd-
eleven of these are appointed by the
city and State. The directors now
in upon the part of the city were APP
pointed by Mayor Hodges and those
on the part Of the State by Governor
Lloyd.
The city holds a large block of
stock. The State holds $1,515 $3.50
of its stock, and holds bonds amount
ing to S366,0OO. The road pays annu-
ally dividends to the State. The
State got from it last year:
81
Interest q $50 90
Tax on Gross Receipts..... ............ 2O,3SS 50
49, lG5 II
Besides this sum, the road pays
upon all its property not included in
direct railroad business, such as ele-
vators, hotels, &C., &c. This large
sum of $155, 465.H turned into the
Treasury, and that sum generally
goes annually into the Treasury to
meet the interest on the public debt.
If the road is injured we may lose
all this income, and then what? Sup
pose the road should stop paying
dividends on her stock, then what?
Go back upon the tax payer to make
it up? With all these dangerous
consequences ahead. and with
knowledge of our deep pecuniary
interest in the road, still these people
are continually warning upon it;
breaking down its credit and cramp-
ing its business. This warfare is
against tine people of the State and
city who own so much of the stock.
Can nothing escape these people, bat
that every interest, public and pri-
vate, must be brought under the
political and malign management of
the BOSS"
These people have had complete
management of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal for the last tifteen years
and have brought it down to the
lowest ebb of being. They got it
when there were from 600 to 500 boats
running upon it and everything was
prosperous along the whole line;
now it is reduced to 200 or 800 boats,
The Legislature gave it power to
borrow $500, 600 for extraordinary re-
pairs. That is all spent and the
whole body of the canal is pledged
for its payment. And now it is pro-
posed to seize and appropriate it for
railroad, and hence the urgency of
these bosses and managers for a con.
yention and a new constitution
